    Default Mother Nature had other plans for me today

    I had planned on-----A----tying up more mainlines and laterals today,B------checking and repairing lines to be ready for tapping,but high windsrippedagoodnumber of shingles off the house,so my son and I were up on the roof replacing shingles between downpours instead.aArghh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Moral of the story--asphalt shingles are garbage,only use tin.
